right, firstly, raising you rev limit is NOT a performance mod. whats the point of revving a car past the point where its made peak power? revving your vtr to 6,600rpm is achieving sweet fuck all. get it on a rolling road and have a look at the power curve, then maybe you will see what i mean.

my vts produces peak power at 6,800 rpm. does this mean i continue to rev it to 7,800 where the limiter is set?? no, of course i don't, as the power gradually tails off after 7k.

i currently have vtr ratios in my vts and do you know what i can hit in 2nd? no? neither do i because i don't really give a fuck because i change at 6,800rpm anyway if i'm trying to get the most out of it.

all this shit about people saying, 'yeah mate, my vtr hits 60 in 2nd like' you sound like devvo. just because your vtr hits 60 in 2nd does NOT mean its a quick car.

I never said it's a quick car, I just said it does 60 in 2nd. Just trying to prove a point. Maybe my dials are out or my tom tom is wrong. I couldnt care less anyway. Not trying to saying my VTR is the quickest thing in the world so I dont know what you're on about there

And lastly, I dont go around revving the shit out of my car and getting it to 6600rpm. I did it a few times because I wanted to see if it would hit 60 and secondly to find out if my limiter was raised or not seeing as everybody elses cuts out a 6250.
